parking brake malfunction

[Wills2]

Just had this tonight when pulling up at home, switched the car off and on again to see if it cleared but no, it won't engage.

Anyone else had this? I would have thought the system would have been pretty robust, good job my drive is reasonably flat.

Good thing you can leave it in D and turn off the engine until the parking brake gets fixed.

Indeed but not an ideal solution holding a 2 tonne car on a small pin lock, it will be a week and 700 miles of driving before I can get into the dealer.
